I agree. It has a solid cast, great writing and excellent characters. The premise was comedy gold and could have lasted for years had CBS given it a fair shake. I was reading somewhere that CBS was going to move the show to Monday nights after "Murphy Brown" and extend it's season but at the last minuet decided to instead pick up "Cybill" as a mid-season replacement. So i guess that ended the series chance at a pick-up... It's too bad because i feel with the right support behind it and just a little tinkering with the writing that it could have become a major hit.

But i loved "Cybill" too and well, CBS didn't treat it any better either.

any character played by Florence Stanely---a comedic legend imho.
